My god. reading this is almost like re-living a 6 month relationship I had 3 years ago with a pathological liar/narcissist/emotional abuser. There are some particular examples that I had happen to me, like pointing out my flaws (constantly pointed out that I have a barely noticeable overbite and thought it was funny). Also once he wrote a contestment (that even a word?) letter for a fine I'd received and my mum (who works in that field) helped to tweak it. He continued to tell me my mum was a hypocrite for saying what he wrote was good and then changing it. Everyone got slimy vibes from him except for me cause I was obviously young and in love or whatever.

You've admitted you're not happy and this is obviously hurting you terribly. You seem like you want to break up. One piece of advice I can give you about breaking up with someone like this is to take full control of the situation and don't let him interrupt you when you're speaking. From my experiences, he may try to manipulate it to pin it back on you and your flaws. Don't stand for that shit, stick to your guns. Good luck!

Do you have lots of split ends or is it just the stickiness/matting? The stickiness definitely sounds like it's due to a build up so give it a good clarify with a clarifying shampoo and then lots of moisture! (oils are fabulous as are deep conditioners). You may want to look into ditching conditioners with silicone if the build up becomes a problem again, but some hair types really like silicones.

I was on the freeway and the car in front was going 60km/h (the speed limit is 100km/h) so I changed lanes and as I passed him, I looked over to see him reading a novel by resting it on the steering wheel.
